MANITOWOC – A 20-year-old Two Rivers man who allegedly led police on a high-speed chase of more than a mile through the city Sunday morning and who had allegedly previously fled from police was arrested by Manitowoc County Sheriff’s deputies Tuesday.

Jacob P. Hetue was arrested on suspicion of fleeing an officer in relation to the incident.

A Manitowoc police report said at about 1:09 a.m. Sunday an officer spotted Hetue traveling in the 700 block of State Street and learned through Department of Transportation records that the registration plate of the vehicle Hetue was driving was suspended for unpaid fines. Records also showed Hetue had a revoked driver’s license and the officer knew Hetue was wanted on a full-extradition felony warrant through Probation and Parole.

The officer followed Hetue and got within a city block of him before activating his emergency lights. The report said Hetue turned onto Franklin Street and began accelerating rapidly. The officer followed Hetue onto South Water Street, where he allegedly was traveling at about 50-58 mph and entered the oncoming lane of traffic.

Hetue then turned onto Clark Street, where the report said he was traveling at speeds in excess of 60 mph before turning onto Western Avenue, where he hit speeds of 68 mph.

The report said Hetue disregarded the flashing red traffic signal at the intersection of Western Avenue and South 21st Street, where he turned onto South 21st and began traveling at speeds again reaching 60 mph. The officer then ended the pursuit in the 100 block of Revere Drive. The officer estimated the total pursuit stretched about 1.2 miles.

After being arrested by sheriff’s deputies Tuesday, Hetue allegedly admitted to fleeing from police on Sunday. He also was previously wanted for leading police on a pursuit on Feb. 12, the police report said.

Online court records show Hetue faces charges of felony vehicle operator flee/elude officer and second-degree recklessly endangering safety filed Nov. 28, 2017, and in 2015 was found guilty of two counts of felony deliver THC less than or equal to 200 grams.

A settlement conference for the Nov. 28 charges is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. March 23 at Manitowoc County Courthouse, online court records show.
